A Midsummer’s Night Dream: A review

A midsummers Night day-dream is unrivalled of Shakespeargons roughly popular comedies. There are thousands of versions of the pretend originated from real several(predicate) interpretations of the text. In this particular adaptation, the director, Joan Ollé, opted to focusing on the theme of the ena moredness and the funny side of the play. The amorousness is mainly represented by hockey puck and Titania and Bottom. Pucks movements are precise sensual and sexual as well. He is represented as a promiscuous character, very extrovert and with no shame. The descent of Titania and Bottom is overmuch eroticized too. Titania is represented as a voluptuous woman and Bottom is dressed with a red velvet gown and smoking a cigar, which make me think of Hugh Hefner and virtuoso of his prize girls. The funny side of the play is strengthend specially by the workers, who speak in a very informal way, with various accents from different parts of Catalonia, and acting in a silent w ay. I think that one of the key funny moments is when they face dressed as bamboozle White and the dwarfs. \nI do not think that the characters realise been modified very much. It is true, though, that Demetrius and Lysander face uped junior than what I expected them to be. Moreover, one of them carries a scooter and they give birth a skirt and shorts, which is what minuscular boy wears. Comparing them to the girls, they look older than they, and their clothes reinforce that aspect, since they wear transparent or revealing dresses. Puck is more sexualized than in the text, and in well-nigh scene it looked as if he was in some cast of relationship with Oberon, but it was not very clear. Gender administration are not real made evident in this version since the director cherished to focus more on other aspects. However, I disoriented the strength of Hyppolita. In Shakespeares text there is a slight resistance to marry from Hyppolitas part that was not very represented in this adaptation. The young couples were the ones who were more important...
